The case was put over till Aug 14th, to allow time for evidence to be disclosed to the defence.

Police haven’t yet been able to locate the victim’s bodies, but laid the charges on Tuesday saying there was sufficient evidence to support that a homicide took place.

“Bodies provide a whole lot of evidence for a jury,” says Crown Prosecutor Shane Parker. “They provide a whole lot of evidence from a forensic standpoint normally for the police, and without that we’re missing a few bullets.”

“That being said, I’ve been the advisory of the Crown on this file since the beginning, I’m familiar with the evidence, and [I’m] confident that we can make out the elements of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt.”
